Anunciado anime de Toriko en el horario de Dragon Ball Kai

[RedMareep]

Toriko, una serie que está creciendo en popularidad en la shonen jump tendrá su anime en Abril de 2011, lo interesante de la noticia es que va a ocupar el horario de Dragon Ball Kai, a las 9 antes de One Piece, deshaciendo el bloque Dream 9, por lo que se pone en duda el futura de Dragon Ball Kai. Según se especula, la saga de Cell(la actual de Kai) terminaría en Marzo de 2011, por lo que podría ser o su final o se va a trasladar a otro horario. Caso similar había sido al terminar la saga de Freezer, cuando también se rumoreaba que iba a finalizar.
Ahora el copypasta de Kanzentai:

As reported by Anime News Network, a copy of next weeks issue of Weekly Shounen Jump that was leaked early has confirmed that Fuji TV will be broadcasting a new anime series based on the Toriko manga. The new anime series is slated to premiere in April 2011 and will be taking over the DragonBall Kai time slot at 9 AM on Sunday mornings before the One Piece anime series.

There has been no confirmation yet from either Fuji TV or Toei Animation as to what exactly will happen to Kai. There seems to be only three options at this point; the series will be relocated to a different time slot on Fuji TV, the series will be put on a long-term hiatus, or the series will be canceled all together. While we don't know for sure what will happen, here's what we do know...

As of right now the series is set to run up to at least 98 episodes, as stated on Happinet's official release website. With episode 86 of Kai airing this weekend, the final Cell arc episode of the series will air sometime near the end of March 2011, aligning perfectly with the April time schedule listed above. And if this truly is the end of Kai, the series will have been in syndication for exactly two years. Also, any possible cancellation surely can't stem from poor TV ratings, as the series has been one of the top 10 rated anime series every week since syndication began in April 2009.

So now, we DragonBall fans play the waiting game once more. So keep your rumor pants on kids, because this could get pretty interesting... or go no absolutely where. Nevertheless, we'll be sure to keep you posted.

Jump Festa, an annual anime and manga convention hosted by Shueisha, will be held this weekend in Tokyo, Japan. Amongst the event schedule is a 30-minute "DragonBall Kai Special Talks Stage", which will be hosted by seiyuu from the series on Sunday (12/19) at 1:00pm. With the recent Toriko anime news, we may finally find out something about the fate of Kai. Unless the question is listed as completely off limits, I can't imagine that we wouldn't find out at least a little bit about it.

Last year the talks were hosted by Nozawa Masako (Goku) and Nakao Ryusei (Freeza), as that is where the series was at that point. Unfortunately it hasn't been announced who will be speaking this year, but I wouldn't be all too surprised if it were Nozawa Masako (Goku) and Wakamoto Norio (Cell). Regardless, we'll be sure to try and keep tabs on what happens this year.

ojala hagan todo z, no me da para esperar una semana x cap para q encima termine con cell, talvez x eso dijeron q iban a ser 100 caps

[SenshiZorS]

Ah esta es la serie de la que hablaban Mareep y Tsu la otra noche en el canal, le deben tener mucha fe para ponerla en el horario de Kai, mas si como dice en la nota Kai está teniendo buen rating.

Yo también había entendido que kai tendría 100 episodios, asi que no era raro que lleguen hasta Cell, supongo la retomaran en un tiempo para dejar a todos con ganas de mas

Se ha confirmado lo peor, al parecer a Dragon Ball Kai le quedan cuatro episodios, los suficiente para concluir la saga de Cell, pero según Kanzentai, la saga de Boo no va a salir:

It's been a while since we've really had any news updates around here, so we might as well get all caught up with what's probably the biggest story on everyone's mind... Is DragonBall Kai ending after the Cell arc? The brutal answer is, yes, yes it is.

Multiple sources and blogs in Japan are now reporting that the series will indeed be ending this month. The most damning evidence comes from TV Pia magazine in Japan which publishes a regular feature looking at the upcoming Kai episodes. In the latest copy of the magazine an interview with Kusao Takeshi (Trunks) was published where he stated, "I hope they'll remake the Buu arc as well if they get a chance". The magazine also noted that there are only four episodes left, confirming an episode count of 98 for the series. Thanks to our buddy kei17 for snagging a copy of the magazine for us.



Fuji TV has also posted a list of all new programming which once again confirms that Toriko will be taking the Kai time slot at 9:00am every Sunday starting in April. The official Toriko website has also launched which contains an interview at Jump Festa with Toriko's voice actor, Okiayu Ryoutarou, in which he confirms that Toriko will be airing alongside the popular One Piece anime. It was also recently revealed that a cross-over special featuring Toriko and One Piece will be airing on Fuji TV on 3 April 2011. So with that, the final episode of Kai will air on 27 March 2011.

Unfortunately, there will most likely not be any official announcement from either Toei Animation or Fuji TV that Kai is indeed ending. Now that we finally know the fate of Kai, the most intriguing question is, why? There are multiple rumors flying around across the internet, but we'll probably never know the actual reason, or at least not from the horse's mouth. The most likely explanation is the massive decline in anime and manga sales across the board in Japan has forced companies to go with something that's massively popular to bring in a higher profit. This is especially true when you consider that Kai relies heavily on older fans of the series, while Toriko is a current Shounen manga with a rapidly growing young fanbase in Japan. This very well may be a "sink or swim" moment for a lot of companies in Japan, but that's enough speculation for now... there's a podcast for that which you should definitely check out toward the end of March, or so I'm told!

yo lei q no hacian la saga de buu xq pese a ser lo mas visto, es un proyecto muy caro.
la verdad es q me da bastante bronca, ademas de q no entiendo como una remasterizacion puede ser mas caro q algo desde 0, pero bue.

EDIT: recien lei esto: http://www.otaku-alliance.com/index.php/topic,3366.msg38654.html#msg38654

Pero... A ver, ¿Quien los entiende? Ya de por si arrancaron mal remasterizando la historia desde Z y no desde el comienzo (¿Quien carajo comienza a contar una historia desde la mitad?) y ahora ¿No le van a dar el final? ¿No cerraron las cuentas?
Para el caso, no me va ni me viene, pero me molesta que traten de esta manera a DB.

[RedMareep]

A mi siempre me molesta cualquier señal, u opinion que ponga a Z por sobre la primera parte (y en raras ocasiones, también al vesre), aunque es un poco entendible por que Z tiene más relleno que la primera parte. Igual, si la gracia era hacer una DBZ más cercana al manga, fracasó la idea estrepitosamente.

la gracia era seguir robando XD!!!
